Odd Socks

My sock charity has taken off and created quite a BOOM! This makes me super happy knowing that we'll warm a few toes this winter. However, I had to change the name as I have apparently stolen someone else's name. It's now known as Odd Socks. We are running a small competition on the facebook page to choose a new name. Please feel free to drop by and give suggestions.

Let's raise loads of socks and show them we can pull this off! x

Socks for Africa!


I was doing departures at the airport today and wasn't wearing decent shoes with socks and was literally frozen after a few minutes. If I'm so cold, imagine what someone who cannot afford socks feels like after a few hours out in the cold? The winter is approaching faster than we think and I think we can make a difference.

How many of your socks have landed on sock island? How many socks have the washing machine swallowed? Do you have socks without their mates? I have loads! I have an idea for you - keep them and donate them!

I am organising Socks for Africa and would like to choose one or (hopefully) more charities for the donation. The date and organisation for Socks of Africa is still a secret, but please let me know if you have socks to donate or if you want to get involved. I was thinking we can cook pots of soup and make a day out of giving. What do you think? Email me on antoinettedup@gmail.com or find me on facebook or twitter to get involved.

Socks can be all shapes and sizes, old, new, plain and/or colourful. You can make someone's winter a little bit warmer!
